MAGA Republican-Led Efforts To Empower Trump Above the Law Continue

Washington, DC– On Wednesday, the House of Representatives voted to pass the Republican-led No Rogue Rulings Act (NORRA; HR 1526), a bad faith bill severely crippling a tool that federal judges can use as a check on President Trump’s often illegal and unconstitutional MAGA agenda. No Democrats voted for the bill.  

In response, Demand Justice Interim Executive Director Maggie Jo Buchanan released the following statement:

“This legislation, endorsed by Trump himself, is a gross attack by Republicans and the MAGA-right on the foundational system of checks and balances in our country. It brings us one step closer to dismantling our democracy for the benefit of one man and his extreme agenda that is actively harming people across the country. 

“The American people believe in the core values of our nation—democracy, freedom, and equal justice above the law. Anyone who voted in favor of this bill failed them and our country today.”
